Trembita ( _uk. Трембіта)- An Ukrainian alpine horn made of wood.

Used primarilly by mountain dwellers known as Hutsuls in the Carpathians. It was used as a signaling device to announce deaths, funerals, weddings.

The tube is made from a straight piece of pine or spruce (preferably one that has been struck by lightning). This is split in two in order to carve out the core section. The sections are once again joined together and then wrapped in lime bark. It is also used by shepherds for signaling and communication in the forested mountains, and for guiding sheep and dogs. The "trembita" produces sounds altogether different from those of the Alpenhorn.

Today it is often used in Ukrainian ethnograophic ensembles and as an episodic instrument in the Ukrainian folk instrument orchestra.
